The Phoenix Business Journal has ranked GoDaddy.com on its list of “Best Places to Work” for the fifth year running. The world’s largest domain name provider ranked 19 in the category for large Valley companies.

“The Best Places to Work” ranking is based on employee surveys which measure retention rate, manager effectiveness, team effectiveness, employee alignment with company goals, trust in senior leadership and trust in fellow coworkers, among other performance categories. The data is compiled by Quantum Market Research and finalists are put into categories based on company size.

The Scottsdale-based company employs more than 18-hundred people in Arizona. Go Daddy prides itself on its competitive salaries, exceptional benefits and creative perks, including the company’s legendary holiday parties where CEO and Founder Bob Parsons has a reputation for giving away thousands of dollars and other prizes, such as cars, motorcycles and trips for which the company also foots the tax bill.

“It’s important for us to make Go Daddy a fun and rewarding place to work,” said GoDaddy.com CEO and Founder Bob Parsons. “I learned a long time ago that happy employees, who are excited about what they’re doing, they perform at a higher level, which in turn allows us to deliver the best customer service in the industry.”

“Our employees are the heart and soul of our operation and it’s nice to be recognized,” said Go Daddy Human Resources Vice-President Lane Jarvis. “We strive to create a positive, healthy environment for our employees, where successes and contributions are celebrated.”
